This is my first GPS and so far I am pleased with it, I just needed the basics to find a location.
However, I wish HK would have mounted the speaker on the front face of the unit. I have a problem hearing the voice prompts while driving on the highway with the window down (my hearing is fine)....a repeat button for the voice prompt would be useful.
Does HK or any aftermarket company sell a plug in (in to the headphone jack) amplified speaker? It would be great to somehow have the voice prompt transmitted to the car speakers. I got spoiled using the factory GPS in my wifes 07 TAHOE LTZ, which is a far superior GPS compared to my HK 310. The voice prompt is heard through the stereo system with an adjustable volume for the prompt.
I guess I can check with Radio Shack for a battery powered amplified speaker.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
